Amazing Animals Stamps: Penguins

The seventh in this series, Penguins join the Bunting, Dragonfly, Fox, Giraffe, Octopus and Sea Turtle before them.

Most people are familiar with a handful of species. There are in fact 6 genera of modern penguins comprising some 21 distinct species. Their ability to adapt to the demands of the harshest climate on the planet and their ability to "fly" in the oceans make them amazing to me.
